I can't ban anyone. This forum belongs to Bill Beaty. The beauty of e-mail systems is that you can selectively ban individual people. If Mary Yugo grates on you too much, just add her to your kill file. Anything I think Yugo's latest comments are fine. I don't see "ridicule, derision, scoffing, ad-hominem" or "Pathological Skepticism." She is right that Rossi has not allowed properly done tests. I have pointed that out dozens of times myself, and I told him that. He does not want to. He never did want to. I do not know why. It sure makes him look suspicious. Many things about Rossi make no sense. He is not a predictable person, and not easy to understand. His motivations are obscure. He is complicated. His business practices seem risky and ineffective to me. He does many things that make him look bad, as I have often pointed out. The thing is, the world is full of dysfunctional people who make themselves look bad. Some of them make valuable contributions to society. You have to look beyond their quirks. It isn't easy. You have to make an effort to see things from their point of view, and to respect them. I don't mean you have make exceptions for geniuses. I mean ordinary people too, who are irascible, such as a plumber I just dealt with. I need his services and he needs a job. I hope that his attitude problem does not prevent us from making a deal. - Jed
